Daily Writing Challenge
Recently, I’ve suddenly found myself mentoring a few other writers who seem to trust that I have some inkling that I know what I’m talking about. I’m flattered and humbled that they’ve placed this trust in me. I was chatting with one of my padawans this morning on face book and remembered my collection of writing prompts and exorcises. I have a massive coffee mug a friend brought me from Disneyland. It’s Grumpy of Snow White fame. In it are a bajillion scraps of paper that have what I like to call writing challenges, little prompts for no other purpose than practicing writing for the sake of practicing writing. I got the prompts from two classes in school: Characterization and Craft of fiction. I pulled one out and fired it off to her via IM.
Hours later, I’ve decided to post these challenges here on Words, Words…. Words. I’ll be posting what little things I come up with, I’m hoping other people will as well. The work that comes from these pieces is not supposed to be full stories, just quick scenes no more than a page or two just to practice various elements of the craft of fiction.
Todays challenge is:
Take two characters and have them confront each other without the use of dialog or violence.
